Hi,

We take the guerilla approach. We prop an iPhone against whatever is handy, then use the front-facing camera to introduce ourselves and let them know what to expect in the first few weeks of their new subscription. We then push the video to Vimeo via its iPhone app, then embed the video in a special welcome page that's shared with the customer. Whole process takes 3-4 minutes.

The goal is to establish a human connection right off the bat. We want them to know we don't vanish the second we get their money. We're there to make them successful, and we're in it for the long haul.

Let me know if you have any other questions. And thanks for taking the time to read and engage!

Scott


This poll was clearly designed to canvas United States cities, even if it wasn't explicitly stated. Is that narrow-minded? I don't think so. If I happened upon a poll on a Russian tech site that mentioned Omsk and Moscow and St. Petersburg, I'd assume it was a national poll. And then I'd move on.

Perhaps it's narrow-minded to assume that a poll on a U.S.-based tech site should by default be global in scope?


Audience defines the scope of the site, not the country where it is hosted.


a U.S.-based tech site

This is a US based tech site? News to me. I thought it was a global site.


"US-based" means located in the US.
